The following oration was de livered ;it till- hih school nmi lncnccmeiit by Mi.-s Purdy, one of the j;ilu;t('s. We ohiic before you to night, dear friends, not as tin- Seven Won ders of the world, the Seven Sacs of Greece, or even the Seven Sleepers, hut as the Seven Sis'trrs of modern history. Vou are all familiar with the mythological story of the Pleiades, and we claim a peculiar and fitting resemhlance to tho.-e Seven Sisters. Not on account of otir reat bcau'y. however, nor our determination to never marry a inoiial. Neither do we say that our thoughts are so far a hove your 1 hou -his, nor our ways a hove V ol I r way s; I Ml t like t lie 1 'le ia des we are di.-tiumii.-hed for our mutual uhect ion, and each one lias a certain hili aim in life - hiirh as 1 1 ! - t .1 1 - of Ilea veil. C.r.i we claim reseinhlance to a hetter object in nature than the constellation of the Pleiades, which twiuldes constantly in the Tent dome of the sky Idled, with myriads of -littcnnr stars? As we t;az,e on those far off lights the teudcrest seiitimeuls of the heart are aroused a feeling of re spect ;inl admiration, of softened melancholy, mingled with the thought of God awakens within us. In life we will not fear the dark ness of adversity, but we will re member that the stars shine bright est on the darkest niht. Although clouds hide the stars from our view, yet they constantly shine as bright as ever, so we will endeavor to make life's pathway bright, even if the clouds of misfortune compel us to live in obscurity. We remember that "'The womau who .seeks but o'-e tli'nfi in lit auil lint one. May hope to achieve it before life is done, But she who .seeks all things wherever f-he toes.

With no intentional boasting the history has been written of the 'Seven Sisters," whose success in school life is not owinjf entirely to their own industry and persever ance, but to their patient, helpful teachers. It was their kind and en- coura-iii words that made many a difficult task seem easy, ahd from their lrood advice, kindly rtven, we have learned to make the best of life.

The first number on the program, i rainy day son, was suntj by a dozen of the cutest, sweetest little tots to be found in the town. They all came onto the stae, twelve little iris with ossamcs on and carry ing raised umurerias; tneir sniiiiiiir was in accord with their dress and was more than ood. The wand drill, by- pupils from Miss Searle's room, was very tine and showed much patient trainim "A Play of the Seasons," by pupils from First and Second wards, was a rollicking dancing party with sprightly music. Much training had been lavished upon them, winch the actions ot the little mites showed had not been in vain.

Little Kdna Petersen as Princess Firefly was very cute and sanjr better than many of the older ones. Prince Grasshopper, a lover of Princess J'irefly, was represented by Leon Pepperberi; a diminutive little man dressed in a suutr fitting suit of bright ireen of the most fashionable cut. Leon carried him self like an old hand at the busi ness and brought down the house with his method of love-making.

The MeXamara vs. Ilaubens A: Shelton apjieal was dissmissed. Albert IJauer was discharged by J i id. y:e Chajunan lor the reason that the indictment was bad and would not stand the test. Kllen Greeson vs. Clark Greeson, divorce jranted as prayed for. CAN the character be read from the- handwriting-? Most assuredly it can. Charactcr-readinn' from handwriting is a fascinating study; and if you wish to learn all about it you must read the excellent and profusely illustrated article, "How to Read Character by Handwriting." by Prof. Nelson Thorpe, published in the July number of Demorest's Family Magazine, and you will be still more interested in the subject. In the same number is a splendid article on "Chili," which is particu larly apropos at present; "Foes Afield: Plants Poisonous to the Stomach" is quite asseasonable, and everyone can recognize the j plants from the accurate illustra- tions; in "Summer Outdoor Games: Lawn Tennis, Badminton, Colors," they are clearly described; and the amateur china-painter may rival the professional by following the! until j directions riven in "The Use of' ! Matt Colors." Besides, there are , stories am; poems, and over two hundred illustrations, including a superb water-color, a French cos tume study under the empire, and the numerous departments are full to overflowing with valuable matter. Briefly, this number fully main tains the justly earned prestige of beiiiijf the model family magazine, Bum, .prompt,, Foeuiv Cure for Impotence, Lot of Manhood, Seminal BmlAtioiia, Spermntorrheat Aicfjouzness, Self Distrutt.
